The question asks: is x greater than or equal to y. (1) says that x IS equal to y, so we have an YES answer to the question.[/quote][/quote]OK , so does it mean its an OR condition and not AND ? Is that a general rule when >eq or <eq occurs?

I used to think in DS , we need to suffice to all conditions, so asked for AND conditiom

Actually it has nothing to do with DS. \(\geq\) sign in mathematics translates to greater than or equal to.

Also, how can x be greater than AND equal to y?

You have a point but if x \(\geq\) y, and we have a solution x = y, it obviously does not mean x has to be gretaer than y, or if x is \(\geq\) y , it does not mean x = y, I was of the view that x should fit in the equality i.e \(\geq\)

You are missing a point. If x=y, it's OK to write: \(x\geq{y}\) --> \(2\geq{2}\). _________________
